I used to live in Nome, Alaska. When it got up to 10 above it was time to put on t-shirts. I fought a fire once(I was with the fire dept), when it was 50 below and the wind was 50+ mph.(two big houses on fire, four people dead) When I took my scott air pack mask off I had huge ice ***** hanging from my beard and the mask to part of the beard and face skin with it. I froze parts of my fingers black(lucky didn't have to have skin grafts.)
When it was about "0" we would go outside and blow soap bubbles. They would freeze in the air and roll along the ground. The ocean in front of town(behind all the bars in town) would freeze for 30 miles out and you could drive on it and snow machine on it.
